‘Am I boring you?’ judge asks

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter CADIZ—Theresa Keener was present in court via video call from the Jefferson County Justice Center. Last week, Keener was given a bond of $20,000 with a ten percent option that she has not been able to make. The Jewett resident was charged with aggravated possession of drugs, a felony in the fifth degree.

Keener also has pending charges in another county. She has previously claimed she needed a medical furlough to go to the emergency room due to several health problems. She has not yet seen the nurse available at the jail, saying she can’t get into the computer system to utilize medical attention. The court has received no documentation on her condition apart from a note written by Keener and has been in contact with the jail nurse, who said Keener had shown no symptoms to justify her claims. Keener admitted she had made no appointments for herself and repeatedly said that she had been arrested at the emergency room.

Keener became agitated with the discussion

and interrupted Judge T. Shawn Hervey multiple times during the hearing. Eventually fed up with her behavior, Hervey told Keener if she interrupted one more time, she would be held in direct contempt of court. Keener was able to remain quiet at that point. If Keener can provide proper medical documentation, the state, represented by prosecuting attorney Lauren Knight, has said there is no problem with a medical furlough.

Christopher Daniska was in court via video call on two cases. In the first case, Daniska was charged with nonsupport of dependants on two counts, both felonies in the fifth degree. In the second case, he was charged with three counts of aggravated trafficking in drugs, a felony in the third degree and two felonies in the fourth degree, and three counts of having a weapon under disability, all felonies in the third degree. He did not want to accept the state’s current offer to resolve his case and requested a new attorney. His current attorney is public defender C. Adrian Pincola.

Judge Hervey explained to Daniska that he could file a motion for a new attorney, and Hervey will review it. However, he will not be granted a new attorney if the only complaint is that Pincola has told Daniska things he does not want to hear. In order to be given a new attorney, a defendant with a public defender usually needs to write a letter to the judge or contact the public defender’s office.

However, the judge may not grant the request.

A defendant must show that the attorney has not been providing adequate legal counsel or has not been fulfilling all duties required of him. Not liking an attorney or a defendant refusing to communicate with their lawyer is not enough reason for a judge to appoint a new attorney.

Wesley Burton appeared less than interested in his court appearance on Tuesday. Burton is

charged with aggravated possession of drugs, a felony in the fifth degree. He filed for intervention in lieu of conviction, which would allow him to undergo treatment instead of being sentenced to time in jail. It was revealed to the court that Burton had made no effort to begin counseling, a necessary step in the intervention program. Burton claimed he’s been too busy with work to get to a counselor.

“Intervention in lieu of conviction deals with addiction first, other life problems second,” Hervey explained. Taking the program seriously shows the court the defendant is working on making their life better. “If you’re not going to do that, don’t waste my time and yours… ask yourself, ‘Is this important to me, or do I just want to do the bare minimum?’”

The judge offered one more continuance for the trial. As he explained that he would need to see more effort next time, Burton slouched in his chair and kept rubbing his eyes as if he were tired, seemingly not paying attention to the judge.

“Am I boring you?” Hervey asked.

“I’m not a criminal,” Burton responded. “I don’t know why you’re being so aggressive.”

Hervey became annoyed, “You’re getting an opportunity handed to you on a golden platter to not have a felony on your record.”

Intervention in lieu of conviction is a program designed to help those who are willing to help themselves. All Burton has to do is get a drug and alcohol evaluation anywhere that is convenient for him to begin the process.

His charges would be dismissed at the end of the program, and he would not have a felony charge on his record. Hervey stressed that this program is a gift to those who want to continue to live normally without the complication of a felony record. Burton did not respond to Hervey’s statements.

Vaccine clinics come to Harrison County

BY REBECCA BRATTEN-WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

CADIZ—The Health Department held a COVID-19 vaccine clinic from 9 a.m. until noon on Friday, September 16. At the clinic, county health workers administered over 40 doses of the newly updated booster, which targets both the original strain of COVID-19 and the newer omicron variants. The updated booster is recommended for anyone who is ageeligible and has received the initial full dose of vaccine, whether they received the other boosters already or not.

County Health Administrator Garen Rhome stated that those who are interested in getting the new booster should seek it as soon as possible.

“Don’t wait for the health department,” Rhome said. He advised that residents go online and visit the Rite-Aid website for vaccination scheduling options.

The site is easy to navigate: All you need to do

is put in your zip code and your birthday, then specify that you are looking for the COVID-19 vaccine. You will be asked if you are seeking the first shot, the second shot, the booster, or the updated booster. Available slots at your nearest Rite-Aid will pop up so you can schedule your shot in advance. You can also schedule your booster at other pharmacies in area towns or cities.

The health department will continue to schedule walk-in clinics where the booster will be available, so keep an eye on their Facebook page.

Alternatively, residents can call their doctors and see if they have doses of the booster available.

Continuing access to immune protection against COVID-19 is welcome for the community since the county is still experiencing a spike in cases.

Numbers have been going down in the rest of the state and across the nation, but the numbers in Harrison County, along with much of southeast Ohio and adjacent areas in West Virginia and Kentucky, remain high in terms of positive cases

and hospitalizations.

“This little corner of Appalachia is seeing high community levels,” Rhome stated.

Fifty new cases were reported between September 9 and 15. This brings the cumulative number of cases that have been recorded in the county, since the start of the pandemic, to 3,850.

This number does not include positive cases that were not reported, cases that were not tested, or asymptomatic carriers.

“We're hoping that this week, September 1622, we will start to see a general decline in new daily cases” Rhome said.

One more COVID-related death has also been reported, bringing the death count for 2022, in Harrison County, up to at least 11.

Rhome protection against the flu this autumn. “Last year we had the ‘twindemic,’” he said, referring to the high numbers of flu cases experienced alongside high numbers of COVID cases. “This year, the general feeling is of better control,” stated Rhome.

Amy Norris’ son, Nathan Norris, stands by her side as Judge Hervey administers the commissioner’s oath of office.

NH PHOTO/CORNELIA GRACE

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter CADIZ—This week, Amy Norris was sworn in to fill her late husband’s seat as the Democrat commissioner for Harrison County.

Judge T. Shawn Hervey administered the oath of office to Norris in the courthouse just before the weekly commissioner’s meeting.

Norris took her seat with commissioners Paul Coffland and Don Bethel.

The meeting was quick, with purchase orders and vouchers approved for the Board of Developmental Disabilities for $19,000 and Job and Family Services for $112,000. Line items were created for the commissioner’s office and the county auditor.

A $10,000 increase for the commissioners was approved. The health department needed increases of around $121,000 in six accounts and decreases of $30,600 in four accounts.

The commissioners passed resolution 3922, which allows the grant office to apply for community impact and preservation lead abatement programs and to administer any money received.

Claims docket batch #4813 was passed for $164,625.37, and item #117 from August 24 for $220 was also passed.

Notice was given of the second public hearing for work intended to be done on the Harrison County Home. The meeting will take place on October 5 at 10 a.m. in the commissioner’s office at the courthouse.

The county engineer shared two road closures coming up. Starting on the 26th, County Road 4 will be closed for about a week to update a railroad crossing. County Road 54 will be closed for a few weeks for a slip repair project.

Norris shared a few words on what it means to sit in what was previously her husband’s seat at the table, “It means a lot. His passion has always been this county. I would like to fulfill what he started to do. We both share a passion for this county. We have worked in public service all our lives, so I would like to continue that.” Many people came to watch her swear in, including her mother and sisters. “I’ve had a lot of extreme love and support from family and friends. It has meant a lot to me. When I inquired with my family what to do after Dale’s passing, they were all supportive of me doing this.” The decision to step into the role was difficult. “That was the heaviest thing on my heart; what to do with the seat. My passion was Dale’s passion. I reached out to the party, and they supported me 100%, and that’s what I wanted to do.”

Norris has been in public service for over 30 years. She’s worked with the public all her life and looks forward to continuing her involvement with her husband’s legacy. Norris will be on the ballot in November and said she may choose to run in 2024 as well.

Black belt students ‘confident, not arrogant’

LOOK AT THE PAST Circus in Cadiz

By Susan Adams

From Isabel Ronsheim’s (1893-1983) memories of growing up in Cadiz, written when she was in her 80’s. (excerpt) “The circus came every spring, but I remember only two carnivals. Streets were roped off, tents were set up in the middle of the streets, and for a week, carnival reigned. One year my favorite performance was up the street from our house. Several long stretches of wire were anchored at each end to high ladders, no net below, right in the middle of the street. A father, mother, and their little daughter were the performers. I heard them call her once - Sybil! What a name right out of a book.

They climbed the ladder, stepped on the wire, danced, kicked, passed each other, knelt, and ran so gracefully, and so easily, and so beautifully. It was breathtakingly beautiful to watch, my heart in my mouth and breathless, until they were safe on the other side. At each end was a trapeze, the parents hanging by their knees. They would swing out as high as they could and throw Sybil from one to the other. Perfect control, perfect timing, perfect confidence. A week of fun, games, and magic - people in our town who did daring and impossible and beautiful things.

Exciting and happy weeks when the carnivals and circus came. When the excitement was over, we went back to our mud pies.” Picture from Harrison County Historical Society.

In the History of Deersville book, there is a mention of the circus coming to town.

Saturday, September 24, 2022

Cash Bash. As in the past, the event held several cash giveaways beginning at 2 p.m. and continued through 6:45 p.m. The prizes concluded with the second of two $1000 giveaways, the first at 4 p.m. and the other at the 7 p.m. closing time.

Also, as part of the day’s festivities, there were additional raffles, auctions, 50/50 drawings, and a silent auction. Food was part of the bash, and there were plenty of good choices on hand. The football coaches (Anthony Hayes, Bill Bryant, Ty Kenny, Ian White, Mark Smith, David Nameth, Drew Case, Orion Bengier, and AJ Barsch) and Todd Dunlap, the day’s drawing supervisor, music, and announcer, made the afternoon and evening both interesting and entertaining.

The football bash is an (at least) 21-yearold event, and attendance was not mandatory to win any of the drawings. Doors to the Lodge closed at 7 p.m.

Dr. Porsche Beetham demonstrates several techniques in the dojo. She performed board-breaking and self-defense moves under the instruction of Denny Miller.

NH PHOTO/CORNELIA GRACE

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter CADIZ—A martial arts student's average time to earn a black belt is six years. Dr. Porsche Beetham managed to get hers in about three. She’s a student at Denny Miller’s dojo in Cadiz, where three other students recently graduated with black belts, including 15-yearold Kennedy Skinner and 18-year-old Triston Mizer.

Miller has taught martial arts since 1985 and has worked in Cadiz for the last five or six years. His students spend time learning techniques, mental and physical discipline, and so much more. They break boards, use nunchucks, and spar together. “You have to be proficient in forms, fighting, self-defense,

Deersville concert to feature country music artist DEERSVILLE—Come on out “to the country” this Sunday and listen to Harrison County’s country music recording artist, Ashley Best & the Set ‘Em Up Band. The event will be held in the quaint Deersville Community Theater, where attendees will get up close seating for this free concert. Abby Dodds, another local musician, will open for Best and his band. The music will begin at 2 p.m.

Best, who will be participating in the much-anticipated Honky Tonk Revival in Wheeling on November 19, has been singing locally for years and recently has had his songs hit country music radio with great success. He has begun traveling throughout the tri-state area, entertaining both young and old with his music. His most recent work, “Keep On, Keeping On,” will be available this spring.

At the concert, Best will be featuring songs for the album and other favorites. Best jokes that he has been chasing his dream longer than his beard, saying he has grown as an artist right along with his facial hair! The singer and his band always leave a little something on the stage each time they perform, including a little part of their souls. He calls his music style a melting pot of Appalachian country and puts his whole heart into each performance.

and breaking,” Miller said. “That is quite an overview. You’re talking about thousands of techniques. It’s challenging.”

Miller talks about his students with a deep sense of pride and accomplishment. “I would say they are very dedicated young people.

They’re wonderful citizens; if you meet one of my black belts, you will know right away.

They’re extremely respectable people. They’re very disciplined, and they’re confident, not arrogant.”

Confidence is critical in karate and selfdefense. Miller stressed how he often sees students begin very timidly but eventually grow to be sure of themselves in their overall lives, not just at the dojo. Becoming a black belt is a significant accomplishment, and Miller never wants to diminish that, “I’m extremely proud of my black belts. They are such kind people; you’d never know they had a black belt. They never boast about it.”

He spoke highly of the self-defense classes he offers, mentioning that he made sure his children could defend themselves before they went to college. Dr. Beetham also spoke about self-defense as essential. Unlike martial arts in general, “[Self-defense is] one of those things you hope you never have to use. You’re not confident in that situation, but you know you can defend yourself.” She also had a message for youth interested in taking up martial arts.

“It gives you focus and a way to channel both physical and mental energy.”

Miller offers classes from beginner to advanced. All classes are $70 a month, with two sessions weekly. Beginners and intermediate are on Mondays and Wednesdays, while advanced courses take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

He is always accepting new students ages six years old and up. Miller stresses that you can begin martial arts at any age, “It’s for everybody, even older people. You’d be surprised when you go [to tournaments] and see 60-year-olds.”

Deersville small but active

BY SUSAN ADAMS

Deersville, platted in 1815, with a population of 72 inhabitants in the 2020 census, is a busy place.

The Deersville Community Players are practicing for their murder mystery dinner theatre called "Fatal Fifties Affair," which will take place on October 27, 28, 29, and 30. The theatre has been around since 1913. The Muskingum Chapter of the Buckeye Trail has many activities and attracts many hikers and campers to Harrison County.

They hold their "Morel Festival" every spring in April. A nice sign in the garden on the west side of the Deersville General Store talks about the BTA. The Deersville General Store is open seven days a week, providing supplies, food, and some of the best ice cream in Ohio. It has been in operation since 1898. The Deersville Community Volunteer Fire Department established 73 years ago in 1949, continues to protect and serve the people of Deersville and the surrounding area. Bosler's Honey, Bees and Accessories, local producers of bees, honey, and other great hive products are loving that they are part of spreading the love and education of bees in Harrison County and surrounding counties.

The Deersville UM Church's first known structure was built in 1840. They hold Bible study and choir practice on Wednesday nights, Sunday school on Sundays at 9:45 a.m., and church services at 11 a.m. And don't forget, Deersville is where one will find the Tappan Lake Park and Campgrounds. Deersville has been a Trail Town since 2019, and in November 2004, the National Park Service placed Deersville's Main Street on the National Register of Historic Places as a Historic District. The district consists of 25 buildings and a cemetery dating from 1915 to 1938. It extends from the village's boundary on the west nearly to the boundary on the east. The district is an example of an early pike town with its collection of 19th and early 20th century buildings. The buildings include vernacular structures, some Greek Revival and Gothic Revival characteristics, and buildings

in the Italianate and Romanesque Revival styles.

The Main Street Historic District is the first one designated in Harrison County. Deersville is an incorporated village with a mayor and council to take care of the village business.

The Women of Mission of the Deersville UM Church is an active group in the community.

They held their September 1, 2022, meeting at the church's fellowship hall with 11 members present.

They enjoyed a delicious potluck lunch. The business meeting was called to order by President Kay Cochenour by leading the group in the reading of the pledge. She then shared a scripture from Psalm 131:3. The minutes and treasurer's report were accepted as presented. Final plans were made for the luncheon for the Harrison County retired teachers on September 16. The group will sell t-shirts and plan on selling Christmas ornaments as a fundraiser. The ladies will be holding their Christmas dinner on November 3 and will be having an ornament exchange. Rebecca Gladman presented the program. The October 6 meeting will be at 11 a.m. at the Deersville General Store. The December 1 meeting will be at Timi's in Cadiz at 11 a.m. to hold an election of officers for 2023.

The Deersville Community Garden Club has been active in Deersville for over 70 years. On Thursday, September 8, at 4 p.m., the Deersville Community Garden Club met at the home of Carol Henry with Becky Walton as co-hostess.

The business meeting was called to order by President Carol Henry by leading the group to sing "Sunshine and Rain." Roll call was taken, minutes from the last meeting and the treasurer’s report were approved as read. In old business, the list of meeting hostesses, events, and program committee were reviewed for the 2023 club year. The program committee will have the information needed for the 2023 program book turned in at the October meeting. In new business, the group voted to hold their Christmas dinner at the home of Lorraine Gladman on December 8, 2022, at 4 p.m. In lieu of a Christmas exchange, members will donate $5 to go toward the scholarship fund. Secretary Marilyn

McMillen shared the minutes from 70 years ago, September 5, 1952, when the meeting was held at the home of Ida McKibben. The meeting closed with everyone reciting the "Gardner's Prayer."

Lorraine Gladman had the program on "Ginger, how to grow or find and how to harvest." She then challenged the group to a couple of games.

Grace was extended by Carol Henry, and the ladies enjoyed delicious refreshments served by the hostesses. The next meeting will be on October 13, at the home of Sue Adams, with Nancy Keplinger as co-hostess. Members are asked to bring a picture from when they were a child to the next meeting.

Friday, September 16, the Women of Mission of the Deersville UM Church hosted the meeting for the Harrison County retired teachers. The group enjoyed a "taco buffet" and other items.

After lunch, the retired teachers held their business meeting. At the conclusion of their meeting, Susan Adams presented a program on the "Early History of Harrison County." Money made from the luncheon is being donated to "Blessing in a Backpack" at Harrison Hills School District.

The Woody-Paul Blanket Mission was started almost 20 years ago in memory of Woody Allen, father of Melvin Allen of Freeport, and Paul Jones, father of Penelope Clark of Deersville. This mission is to make blankets to give away to people in need of comfort. The mission meets the second Monday of each month at 10 a.m. and knots blankets.

The blankets are free to anyone with a need for comfort. One went to Switzerland, three went to Germany, one to Australia, and all over the US. Most are given to family, friends, and neighbors in Harrison County. In August, a blanket was sent to a Kentucky flood victim. Many thank you notes are received singing the praises of the prayers, comfort, healing, and warmth received from these blankets.

Fall is coming, and the leaves will be changing.

This is a perfect time to travel the Tappan-Moravian Trail Scenic Byway that goes right through Deersville and see Mother Nature at some of her best. Deersville is between Tappan and Clendening Lakes, with some of the best scenery in the County.

FCC holds men’s prayer breakfast in press box; HC Coach Hayes speaks

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

HC Head Fottbal Coach Anthony Hayes provided an in-depth look at the complete Harrison Central football program.

NH PHOTO/ED BANKS

CADIZ—Saturday morning, the First Church of Christ (FCC) Main Street, Cadiz, held their monthly men’s prayer breakfast in the new press box at Wagner Field. This special meeting and location were well planned and orchestrated by FCC church elder Eddie Banks III. For several weeks, he coached the regular prayer breakfast attendees to invite men to the event. As a result, 34 men attended the affair.

This special prayer breakfast also held a second agenda item. The guest speaker for the morning was Harrison Central Head Football Coach Anthony Hayes, who was on hand to present a look at what the Husky football program means on and off the field. The vision statement alone brought enough interest to the audience. Some of the information given to the football players as part of the program

includes: Socially, (social awareness, no drugs, no drinking, treat people with respect), Academics (honor roll, National Honor Society, graduation, college, trade school, military), Athletically (league title, playoff expectation, regional title, state title).

Hayes’ presentation opened the eyes of the men in attendance and provided a better look into what the football program represents for the coaches and the young men who play the game. Many comments verified that the normal idea of football and coaching holds more than expected or imagined at Harrison Central. “I have a complete appreciation for Coach Hayes and the program than I ever had before,” was often heard the following the day.

Harrison Central Superintendent Duran Morgan also attended the breakfast and Hayes’

presentation. Morgan applauded the use of the facility for the day’s agenda.

In attendance at the event were the men of the FCC-Main St., the men of the Hopedale Church of Christ (who are regular attendees), Luke Marshall (Crossroads Farm Ministries), and men from the surrounding area. The clergy in attendance included Pastor Paul Giffin of FCC-Main St. and Dean Blythe of the Hopedale Christian Church. Banks concluded the morning with a devotional on “HOPE,” followed by prayer requests and prayers for those who presented the requests.

The church clergy and the men of the community want to thank Duran Morgan and Anthony Hayes for providing a wonderful breakfast venue, along with the Harrison Central Football Program presentation.

OBITUARIES Samuel Cunningham Samuel Wherry Cunningham, age 95, of 76795 Valley Knoll Road, Flushing (Piedmont), died at 3:25 a.m. Saturday, September 17, 2022, in the Harrison County Home, Cadiz, Ohio, where he had been a resident for thirteen

months.

He was born March 6, 1927, in Londonderry Township, Guernsey County, Ohio, a son of the late Lester Zellars Cunningham and Mary Margaret Tedrick Cunningham.

Sam was the Salutatorian of the 1944

graduating class of Freeport High School.

He attended Muskingum College in New Concord prior to induction into the United States Army and served in the occupation forces in Germany. He was discharged in November of 1946. He graduated from Ohio State University in Columbus in 1949 with a degree in agriculture.

Sam was a dairy farmer most of his lifetime and was a member of the Ohio Jersey Breeders Association for many years.

His passion for farming and agricultural education and legislation was evident by his involvement with agricultural organizations. He was a member of the Harrison County Farm Bureau, where he was inducted into the Farm Bureau Hall of Fame and was also inducted into the Harrison County Soil and Water Conservation District Hall of Fame. He served as a member on the Harrison County CIC Board for several years. He was on the

We want to be like them

Not much has changed since high school. Even though we graduated what seems like a hundred years ago, there’s still the cool crowd in society that many want to be close to. There are winners and losers, the real deal and the wannabes. As followers of Jesus, you would think that none of that would be a temptation to us, but to some, it is. None of this is new, of course. The ancient Israelites in the prophet Samuel’s day give us a good teaching moment. They wanted to be like the other countries around them. “Give us a king; we want to be like everyone else,” they said. Until then, Samuel had been a prophet and a judge over them. Samuel prayed about all this, and God told him, “They haven’t rejected you; they have rejected me as their king. Go ahead and grant their request but warn them of the end result.” And warn them Samuel did, “This secular king you want to replace God with will take your sons and press them into service for his own selfish needs. He will take your daughters as his personal household servants, take your farms and vineyards, demand a tenth of

everything you make to provide a cushy life for his soldiers as they build his war machine.” But the people refused to listen. “Give us a king to fight our battles so we can be like the rest of the world,” they clamored. So, they got their king, his name was Saul, and Saul was a disaster. Everything Samuel predicted came true; Saul was a taker, not a giver. This real-life event can be a big help to us today.

When we, as people of God, would rather draw closer to culture than to Christ, life will take a downward turn.

In the New Testament, James’s letter warns us, “Friendship with the world is hostility toward God.” Now, does that mean we can’t leave the house or go to see our kids’ games because sports are worldly and unbelievers are there? Just how far do we take this?

Actually, we can be salt and light and a great witness at secular events.

The friendship that James warns us about is the friendship of the heart and its affections. Who will be our king? Where does the affection of our heart lie? Lot pitched his tent toward Sodom; his friendship leaned toward the world. Abraham, the friend of God, pitched his tent the opposite way. This world will continually test us to de-throne God as our king. Will our king be the world around us or the Jesus that is in us?

CADIZ—While County Prosecutor Lauren Knight spends a lot of time doing paperwork, she doesn’t lose sight of her responsibility to the community. Her focus is primarily on felony cases, working within the system along with the victims to find satisfactory resolutions to difficult cases.

Her desire is for justice to be served, but she makes sure the victims are part of the process, “Making sure people understand why” the courts make different decisions, Knight said.

“In general, the legal process is so foreign to most everybody. If you’re not dealing with it on a daily basis, it means nothing to you.” The victims Knight helps are not typically people who have experience with the legal system, so part of her job is explaining the basic process cases go through.

Knight has been county prosecutor since 2021 and has made many tough choices during her term. “I think all elected officials want to do their best.” She said, “You typically don’t go into these positions because it’s going to be really fun; at some point, everybody’s going to hate you.” She said it’s rare for people to express gratitude toward her, they’re more likely to complain, but she doesn’t let that discourage her. “My office and I try to do what’s best for the county in all the decisions we make. I hope that shines through because I didn’t go into this to make money; I went into this because I want to make a difference and make sure that Harrison County and the people here are being

protected, kept safe, and respected. I hope that is what people see.”

Her first thought when a case lands on her desk is often of the victims. “I try to prioritize victims…at the end of the day, I do recognize these are people’s lives, and usually I’m seeing them at the worst period of their life.” Knight explained. “I don’t want them to feel even worse about the situation because of me. I want them to understand the process and know what their options are.”

At one point, she wanted to focus on domestic relation law because she cared about how the children in those situations were often forgotten. Before being elected prosecutor, she worked as a guardian ad litem (GAL). A GAL is an advocate for children involved in domestic cases. “That was something I really enjoyed,” Knight said. A GAL is like a thirdparty investigator who will talk to the kids involved, their health professionals, and usually the child’s school as well. She added, “You get to know people on a very personal level, and I think it helps to be able to listen to the kids and hear what they actually want and relay that to the court because that’s basically what you do.”

Lauren Knight clearly has a heart and passion for the community of Harrison County and has continually worked to provide excellent legal counsel to those she encounters.

She said, “My job isn’t to make a decision that everybody wants me to; that’s not feasible, that’s not possible. My job is to make sure that I am following the law and make sure I am doing what’s best for the county. That’s what I try to do.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Hello, My name is Harley Cook, and I live at 104 Maple Street in Scio, Ohio. Some background: I bought my house in December of 2015. It was far enough away from everyone I knew but still close enough that I could travel to see them. I knew nothing about the village other than they had the best ice cream stand. When I looked at my house, it was with a realtor from Wintersville, who had to get in touch with the actual realtor who was selling the house. We didn’t learn much about the area. We didn’t really get the low down on the house, except the seller really wanted the house gone, and we could move in as soon as possible.

Nothing better than a house in your price range and move-in ready. Too good to be true!

Me & my husband (boyfriend at the time) moved in. I believe it was only a few months later, maybe a year, that our basement flooded from heavy rainfall. We lost everything we had down there. I panicked, and we called the fire department, hoping they would come to pump our basement out. I had to have called six different numbers that night. A firefighter and village administrator showed up at the house (village administrator’s girlfriend or wife lived next door) and proceeded to tell us they were not going to be able to pump out our basement because there were more people who needed their basements pumped and we would have to do it ourselves; that we should invest in a sump pump or backflow prevention devices to stop this from happening again. They both got in their cars and left. They weren’t helping anyone with pumping out basements. They went home.

We cleaned up all night/morning long. None of it was sewer but mud, leaves, rocks, etc. It didn’t make sense. We weren’t told anything about the basement flooding when we bought the house or even that Scio had terrible water, and it’s not even safe to drink. I contacted the realtor and asked for the papers I signed, and lo and behold, in the small print, the lady before me had basement floodings that would come up even higher than what ours has, and they would not help her either. Every heavy rain from then until now seems like we always have an issue. When I bought my house, the yard was pretty flat. Now, if you stand on the road and look at the yard, it is pretty wavy. My basement flooding has become the new normal for us. The flooding also took out the driveway in front of our house with the gas line showing and all. They have to get gravel put down every now and then because it sinks.

I had to replace my furnace due to it being old like a year or so ago, and it had taken on a lot of water a few times. Right after I replaced it, it wasn’t a month later a flood took my brand-new one out. I was so upset. All this money I pour into things and have to replace because the village is incapable of holding their promise, knowing that my basement floods because of a storm-drain pipe running in my yard that’s broken and falling apart.

Thankfully, Dan and Brian were able to come in a timely manner and look at it. I was told the floor water had fried everything inside and that it was not covered under warranty. I called the house insurance company I use and started

from there. They sent someone to take pictures of everything that was ruined so I could use the house insurance to replace my furnace and everything else that was ruined. Once again, I was super upset that I had to pay for something the village should have fixed years ago. They should be paying for my things. I called the village administrator, Jake, and asked if he was refunding me for my brand new furnace because the flooding was their fault, and he’s the one who told me to use my house insurance. After a week or two, the house insurance money came in, and I was able to get my furnace replaced after having to buy electric heaters for the week or two in between.

I’ve called the water department, mayor, and village administrator multiple times for years now with nothing. The mayor begged my husband not to go to the news and that she would talk with other members of the village and get my yard fixed (2016). I talked to Jake a few months ago, and he said that my yard is on the list of things to fix and that because of covid, everything is on backorder. I said covid is not an excuse when I’ve been demanding my yard be fixed since 2016. My yard isn’t safe anymore. I found out from someone in town that the only reason they are fixing the water lines is because the state gave them the grant and is practically forcing them to do it. My storm drain is coming out of the ground, ruining my yard, forming huge holes, and at this point, probably ruining my foundation. I have a 4-year-old child who loves playing outside. We can’t let her in the side yard because of the pipe.

There’s a hole by the road that if anyone pulls over for another car coming by, they’ll probably get stuck in there. How long will it take for my yard to become one giant hole? Why am I paying for all these damages when they know it’s happening because they don’t care about our village? Where does all my income tax money to the village go? Why should I have to pay someone to check my foundation? These are things for which they 100% should be responsible. I was asked not to go to the news or any kind of lawyer from the mayor herself. I contacted WTOV9 with no response back from them. I’m at a loss. I can’t even sell my house and move away because who wants to buy a house with a basement that floods and a yard with a pipe coming out of it?

I’m sure there’s more I could say, but it’s hard thinking of everything that’s happened when you have lived here for almost seven years.

Freeport council still dealing with water bill issues

Saturday, September 24, 2022

BY DEB MILLIGAN Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer FREEPORT—Freeport Mayor Larry Wells conducted the September council meeting at town hall, with everyone pledging allegiance to the flag. Clerk-Treasurer Mary McBride had roll call with council members Lisa Foster, Sue Howells, John Koch, Orval Gosnell and Letisha Wells present. Council had three guests there who asked about water-sewer bills going up, and no one had contacted the council about it. They were told in August to contact State Representative Don Jones about him helping pay for the project, if it is legal, and with questions, but no one did.

Mary McBride said that all water bills had been paid up to date. Meters are now being read, and the next bill will be mailed out in October.

The book is at the village hall for anyone who wants to see construction documents for village sanitary system improvements.

Council voted to have Terry Stine put the installation in the pump house for $150.

McBride is to contact Pam Ewing and commissioners to come to Freeport to answer many questions from residents.

Village Administrator Dan Snyder and helper Bill Moorison told the council that they went around to some houses Monday to get samples of water to be tested by the EPA. They painted the water tank, and the water system needs to be updated.

Mayor Wells and council members told Snyder and Moorison thanks for doing a good job at bringing things up to date.

Democrat women send sympathies

Ann Milleson was the host for the evening and served the refreshments. President Lori Milleson led the meeting with a pledge to the flag. Ann Milleson reported the winner of the Ohio State cooler was Carol Burdette and the location of the Democrat headquarters in Cadiz. Deb Milligan gave Parker a birthday gift, and everyone sang happy birthday to her. Deb passed around the names to update along with addresses and phone numbers. They discussed sending sympathies to the immediate families up to $40.00, the passing of Dale Norris and his wife Amy taking his commissioner's seat, giving money to Nan Whaley, who is running for governor, and Tim Ryan. The door prize was donated by Marge Monroe and won by Deb Milligan.

Harrison County Soil and Water Conservation District and Harrison Central FFA hosted fourth graders from Harrison Central Elementary for a field day on Friday, September 16, at the Zitko Farm. At the event, students were able to interact with and learn basic livestock knowledge about cows, ducks, goats, rabbits, and horses.

Hello, Are you all enjoying these beautiful autumn days?

Our garden is pretty much cleaned out except for one row of potatoes that we didn’t dig yet and some flowers that are still blooming. It’s time to clean out the flower bed too.

On Tuesday, mom and all of us sisters were at sister Clara’s house to help her with her fall cleaning. It is nice to get together like that as I don’t get to see my sisters like I wish I would. Then on Tuesday evening, we went to dad and moms for supper and evening. On Thursday evening, there is a benefit for niece Ada to help with her medical expenses.

Today I have laundry and baking to do and want to clean the bedroom.

Have a good week!

Ladies show Huskies cruise past Potters order on the court

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

CADIZ—On Saturday, Harrison Central’s varsity volleyball team took on the Lady Red Devils of St. Clairsville. The five-set battle produced a nine-point difference through the first four sets. A six-point difference decided the winner in the fifth and final set and the tiebreaker for the win. Individual set scores in the first four sets ended with scores of 23-25(St. C), 27-25(HC), 25-23(HC), and 23-25(St.C).

The tiebreaker ended 9-15(St.C).

Trista Thompson with 10 kills, Olivia Tonkovich with 25 assists, Maddy Butler with 30 digs, and Danica Rensi with 12 points paced the Huskies in this close contest. The Harrison Central junior varsity lost by a score of 2-1.

The following Monday, the Huskies were back on the road in Martins Ferry. During that contest, the Lady Purple Riders emerged as victors. The scoring of the sets was as follows: 21-25(MF), 25-18(HC), 16-25(MF), and 2125(MF). The match leaders for this contest were Thompson with another 10 kills, Julia Doty with 22 assists, Butler with 27 digs, Maddie Sedgmer with 15 points, and Nadia Tweedy with three blocks. The Harrison Central junior varsity lost by a score of 2-1.

On Wednesday, the Huskies were back home to face visiting Steubenville. The match lasted three sets, as the Lady Big Reds swept the junior and varsity squads. The varsity match concluded with scores of 18-25, 1025, and 13-25. The team leaders for Harrison were AnnMarie Corder with seven kills, Olivia Tonkovich with 17 assists, Nessa Culver with eight digs, and Doty with six points.

The Strasburg junior high Lady Tigers arrived in Cadiz on Thursday carrying an 8-4 eighth-grade team record and a 7-5 seventhgrade team record. The Huskies, who were coming off wins over Bellaire, were hoping to repeat their winning ways. In trying to get there, the seventh grade carried their opening match to a three-set affair but fell short in the end with scores of 25-27 (H), 27-25 (S), and 25-19 (S). The eighth-grade game was not as successful, as they lost in 2 sets and by scores of 25-16 (S) and 25-17 (S).

The following Tuesday, the junior high team was matched against the Lady Tigers of Shadyside, which resulted in a clean sweep of the visitors. The seventh-grade Huskies opened the evening with first set winning numbers of 14-25 (HC) and 21-25 (HC). The Huskies started off with the early lead and never looked back. In the second set, the Huskies recovered from an 11-point lead by the Tigers to come back as winners and did it with style. The match ended with scores of 18-25 (HC) and 19-25 (HC).

EAST LIVERPOOL—The Harrison Central football team got back into the win column last Friday night in Columbiana County. After jumping out to a 24-0 firsthalf lead over the East Liverpool Potters, the Huskies coasted to a 31-7 victory to improve to 4-1 on the season.

Those who made the trip witnessed a wellbalanced offensive attack and a defensive effort that forced four turnovers and allowed less than 30-passing yards.

"It was good to get back in the win column.

Overall, I thought our defense played pretty well. We did a better job of team tackling, and I saw some of our guys give their best effort to date. Offensively, we controlled the tempo of the game and got good push up front. Once they put eight guys in the box, it was tough to run the football. We asked our passing game to get involved and give us a boost, and it did,” Head Coach Anthony Hayes stated.

Hayes and his staff got a nice mix from their offensive unit. In total, the Huskies ran up 159-yards on the ground and got another 207 through the air.

While a comfortable outing, it was anything but a fast start for either team. Parker Hutton hauled in a 17-yard pass from Hayden Cassidy

to open up the scoring, and after Jace Madzia’s successful extra point, all scoring would cease until the second frame. With a 7-0 lead in the second, the Huskies (4-1) eventually found the gas pedal. Mykel Quito burst past the pylons from two yards out just moments into the quarter, then on the next drive, Jace Madzia extended the lead with a 31-yard field goal to make it 17-0. Cassidy tossed his second scoring strike of the night with 3:54 remaining in the half, with Tre Rex on the other end of the 21yard toss.

With under a minute remaining before the halftime break, the Potters (1-4) took advantage of an interesting sequence of events to post their only score. The Huskies' offense stalled out short of midfield, which led to the punt team taking the field. The punt was partially blocked, but in the process of the play, the Huskies had recovered the football beyond the original first down marker. After a long discussion, the referees decided there was an illegal formation during the play and ruled the down to be replayed. A successful punt landed the ball at the Potters' 32-yard line the second time around. It was a one-play wonder from there, as the Potters found a loophole, and Jaymin Haney took the rock 68-yards to the house with 24.7 seconds on the first-half clock.

Cassidy found Rex for the game’s final score in the second half with a 31-yard touchdown pass.

Defensively, brothers Landen and Lucas Thomas both recovered fumbles. In the secondary, Cassidy and Alex Fluharty flipped the field with an interception each.

Last Friday was the first-ever meeting between the two schools, and Coach Hayes couldn’t be happier with his team’s performance on the new artificial turf at Patterson Field.

However, the focus quickly shifted towards a St. Clairsville team visiting Cadiz this weekend.

“There are going to be nights that our opponents take something away, and we are going to have to be able to do the opposite effectively. Tonight, I thought that we showed that balance. We are proud of our boys and their effort. On to the Coal Bucket!” the Coach declared.

CV football tops Bridgeport

BY TONY SCOTT CV Assistant Football Coach

BOWERSTON—Conotton Valley won their second straight game Friday at home by a 42-18 margin over the Bridgeport Bulldogs.

The Rocket offensive was too much for the Bulldogs getting out to a 20-6 lead at the end of the first quarter. The green & white opened the lead to 36-12 at the half and held a 42-18 score at the end of the third quarter. Neither team scored in the final frame.

Senior Evan Rice led the Rockets with 101

yards rushing on 21 attempts, scoring three touchdowns and a two-point conversion. Rice was also three out of four passing for 57 yards.

Noah Smith rushed for 99 yards on 18 carries with a TD and a two-point conversion. Gaige Galigher ran for 58 yards returning a kickoff for a 65-yard touchdown and adding a twopoint conversion. Kam Wright also reached paydirt, returning a punt for a 70-yard score.

Defensively, Rylan Bagby recovered a Bridgeport fumble in the first quarter.

Next Friday, the Rockets host 5-0 Caldwell at the “launching pad.” Kickoff is at 7:00 pm.

Soccer winning streak continues

BY SHARON DALTON Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer

CADIZ—The Husky varsity boys soccer team was at Wagner Field on Saturday, September 17, to take on Shenandoah High School.

The Huskies dominated from beginning to end. Hitting the net for the Huskies were Lunis Hildebrandt and Lorenzo Chiarpotto, with three goals each. Jace Madzia, Taylor Cope, Zane Carson, and Jaydis Yoho also added a goal each. Final score: HC 10 Shenandoah 0 “It was a good game. We scored lots of goals. We are off our losing streak. We got lots of playing time for everyone. Everyone played. It was a fun afternoon. It felt good after our last four really tough games. We are looking forward to three games next week with hopefully more of the same,” stated the coach.

On September 20, the Husky Boys were back to work taking on the Union Local Jets.

Once again, they scored early and often and achieved an 11-0 victory over the Jets. Lorenzo Chiarpotto led the Huskies in scoring with three goals, Jace Madzia and Lunis Hildebrandt followed with two each. Kayden Dunkle, Kaden Jurosko, Ben Giffin, and Taylor Cope tallied one goal each.

“It was another good night for the Huskies.

We kept another clean sheet which was my number one priority this game. Same thing the next two days; my priority is to keep a clean sheet and score some goals. So far, we are sticking to the plan. We are two out of four down with this little streak; then we get a week’s rest. After that, we have our last six games of the season before the playoffs. We are looking for a good momentum going into the back half of the season,“ Coach Derek Gramling added.

The Lady Huskies hosted East Liverpool on September 17 in the first of their two home games for the week. Junior Angi Ferri led the Huskies in scoring with four goals and an assist. Sophomore Lily Gibbons contributed two goals. Adding to the total for the Huskies were sophomore Carliegh Burgess and senior Hayden Elliott with a goal apiece. Senior Alina Williams, junior Isabel Yeager, freshman Grace Miller, and Burgess also added assists.

The halftime score had the Huskies up 5-0 with a final score of 8-0. Coach Mindy Madzia boasts of the Lady Huskies’ great passing and total teamwork, front to back.

Monday, September 19, the Lady Huskies took on Philo at Wagner Field. Philo came prepared and held the Huskies to a single goal made by Alina Williams when she shot from the top of the box in the first half. Vanessa Dowdle finished the game with 13 saves.

Coach Mindy Madzia once again boasted of her team’s great teamwork. Final score: HC 1 Philo 0. This win tallies four in a row for the Lady Huskies.

Village McNichol Living Trust to Adam Kaurich etux, Nottingham Twp. Matthew J. Ramsey etux to Dewey Harrington, New Athens Village Duane Miller etux to Jonathon L. Miller etal, North Twp. SHERIFF’S OFFICE 9/13 – A Bowerston woman called the office to report harassment and threats from her sisters. She stated that it had been nonstop since July and that she had blocked their numbers, but they had started using different numbers. The deputy made contact with one of the sisters, who claimed she didn’t have time to harass her sister. The woman was advised to get a restraining order and that a report would be made if she needed it.

A deputy patrolling in Tippecanoe passed a slow-moving black SUV he had never seen before. Due to the high amount of drug issues in the area, he turned around quickly and eventually found fresh tire tracks leaving a place where outdoor lights were on near a camper. The deputy stopped out of sight and watched the property to see if anyone would return. He observed a male in a grey t-shirt coming out of the woods. The male picked up an axe and began splitting wood by the camper.

The deputy believed the male had several active warrants. He stealthily exited his patrol car and approached the subject. He positively identified the male as having warrants. When he was noticed, the male was “quite bumfuzzled and surprised” and asked the deputy why he was there. A nearby generator was running loudly, making it difficult to hear. The male began to walk in the deputy’s direction, axe still in hand but acting like he was going to be taken into custody. When the deputy approached, the male “suddenly dropped the axe and, in a nimble, agile fashion ran into the words and up the hill,” a pit bull dog with him.

The deputy chose not to pursue on foot alone.

9/14 – Around 1 a.m., a deputy observed suspicious behavior at the gas station in Scio.

He followed the subjects in their vehicle and initiated a traffic stop when the driver failed to signal a turn. The female driver stated she didn’t have a license but provided identification. The male passenger provided an ID card. When asked where they were going, the driver stated they were just driving around and that she had stopped to put air in her tires. When the deputy said he had watched her pull into the gas station and not use the air pump, she didn’t have an answer. The female seemed nervous, and the deputy asked if there was anything illegal in the vehicle. She said no and gave consent to search. In a backpack by the male’s feet, the deputy found bloody syringes and residue he suspected was an illegal substance.

The male was issued a summons, and both were released at the scene.

9/15 – A Hopedale woman called to report

Saturday, September 24, 2022

her husband, Christopher Gaylor, was at her home and was not allowed to be there due to a protection order. When a deputy arrived, he found Gaylor around the back of the house talking to his wife through the door. Gaylor said he was there to “patch things up” with her. The deputy noticed the smell of alcohol and asked how much Gaylor admitted to drinking earlier. While there was no formal protection order, Gaylor’s probation does not allow contact with his wife; a detail Gaylor was told multiple times. Gaylor was arrested and booked into jail without incident.

A woman called to report that her young daughter had shown her videos of two girls fighting and wanted to report the assault. Her daughter received the videos via Snapchat and was afraid of retaliation from one of the girls in the videos. The first video was from several weeks ago, and the second video was from the previous day. A deputy followed up with the alleged suspect and left statement sheets for her and her mother to complete and return to the Sheriff’s Office. As the deputy left, he heard a loud scream from the residence and returned to ensure everything was okay. The girl was acting out and denying the accusations. The deputy advised that this wasn’t the time to argue the facts, it was time to fill out statements, and the prosecutor would review the case.

9/17 – A Tippecanoe resident reported that cattle had been loose on his property. The man had been out of town for a week, and upon returning home, he found damage to his yard and several bushes. He suspected it was a neighbor’s cattle that had done it. The deputy contacted the neighbor, who said he would talk to the man to resolve the issue. He noted that it was probably his cattle but mentioned there are others with cattle in the area too.

Deputies responded to a report of a suspicious person. The caller stated she had awakened to pounding on her door and saw what looked like two males and one female outside. Deputies found a woman down the road who explained her boyfriend had kicked her out of his vehicle on the way home. She had been driving when an argument broke out between them. When she stopped the vehicle, the boyfriend grabbed the keys from the ignition, walked around the car, and pulled her out of the driver’s seat. He took her phone, so she could not call anyone. Deputies went to the boyfriend’s home but did not contact him.

It was noted that the vehicle in the driveway was warm and there was freshly spilled liquid over the driver and passenger seats, indicating an altercation possibly took place.

9/18 – Deputies responded to a call about a disoriented male. EMS was on the scene when deputies arrived. The man was able to answer

questions but only in a roundabout manner.

The man gave up his keys to a friend who drove him home. The deputy made contact with the man’s wife, who explained that her husband had gotten a head injury several weeks ago.

After coming home from the hospital, he stopped taking all his medication and wasn’t acting normally. The wife is disabled and relies on her husband. The deputy will be calling adult protective services to see if the couple can get help.

Two women reported harassment through Facebook and Tiktok. The women know the person who is sending the messages and were advised to file a restraining order against the person.

9/19 – A woman reported a bag of medications had been stolen from her vehicle.

She had attended an event in Scio on Saturday night and stayed at a friend’s house that night.

She realized the bag was gone on Sunday morning.

9/20 – A car backing out of a residential driveway hit a parked car on the opposite side of the street. Both vehicles had minor damage, and the driver backing up was advised they were at fault for the accident. No citations were issued.

CADIZ POLICE DEPARTMENT 9/7 – Police were called to a residence for a dog attacking another animal. The caller stated she had been sitting on her porch with her leashed pomeranian when a neighbor walked by with his German shepherd. The woman claimed the neighbor allowed his dog to come up her porch and attack her dog.

The pomeranian had visible bite wounds and was shaking, but the injuries did not appear to be immediately life-threatening. The officer contacted the neighbor, who said the pomeranian had instigated the fight, but his dog was unharmed. Other neighbors noted that most people in the area are afraid of the German shepherd and one said the dog had bitten someone last year though a police report was never made. The owner of the German shepherd was informed a report would be sent to the prosecutor’s office and the dog warden and that his dog would need to be quarantined for ten days.

9/9 – A call was made to police because a child was seen hanging out of a second-story window. Officers talked to the resident, and the male claimed he needed to make a lock for the window but didn’t have the supplies.

The property owner confirmed the male wasn’t a resident and that the apartment had been previously warned about a child sitting against the second-floor screen. A copy of the report will be sent to DJFS.

You don’t have to have a lot of techniques to homestead, and you don’t need a lot of knowledge. Any homesteader or farmer you meet will gladly give you information about how they’ve done things. I haven’t met any grumpy ones yet.

If someone came to me and asked how to begin, I’d want to sit down with them and figure out their needs.

We would develop a basic garden plan because that’s a great place to start. It’s easy to feel pressured into doing what everyone else does, but not everyone likes the same things.

If you don’t like, say, tomatoes, why plant them?

It’s important to take stock of where you are and what you want to do. Do you want a garden, or do you prefer to start with animals? Is the goal to become self-sufficient, or do you want to be more frugal?

I’m thankful for the internet and Youtube because there is a great community of farmers and homesteaders online who will share their knowledge with others. It’s a group of people who want others to succeed, so don’t be afraid to reach out to people (including me!) and ask questions. You can email me at terrabellafarm@yahoo.com

Thank you to John and Nancy Sukosd for the Secretary’s Book for the Deersville W.C.T.U. Woman’s Christian Temperance Union group that was in Deersville. It covers the period from January 1956 through December 1962. It has been a very interesting read with lots of familiar names and a great piece of history. The group was involved with the temperance movement and opposed the use of alcohol. It will be added to the collection of local history at the Harrison County Historical Society.
